On its own, this wine is a miracle, a tour de force, a "pure stroke of the bow", as Jean-François Bazin puts it. The colour is captivating, with its dark topaz hue and bronze-orange highlights. On the nose there are beautiful aromas of honey, apricot, toasted cereals and candied orange, which only change and become more complex in the glass. The palate is both very sweet and airy, with a superb acidity that gives it freshness and raises a very pure fruitiness on the long finish. Endless on the palate, it leaves a long trail and a great memory. Mythical!

Technique

Viticulture

The estate owns a 2 ha vineyard located in the Hatari Grand Cru, in the municipality of Olaszliska, on a south-facing slope with a 30-40% gradient. In addition, trustworthy partnerships with local winegrowers allow the estate to buy aszú grapes from different terroirs. First vintage produced: 2000.

Oenology

The penultimate stage of Tokaj's liquor "rocket", Aszú Esszencia (not to be confused with Esszencia) corresponds to a richness of more than 6 puttonyos, i.e. more than 180 gr of sugar/l. The wine must legally be aged for at least three years, two of which must be in casks. In this case, it was aged for four years in wood.
